Description

He called you a monster, but Sanemi Shinazugawa knows the truth—he's the real beast. As a kendo master renowned for his savage grace, Sanemi's body is a roadmap of scars from a past he refuses to speak about, a past that taught him to hate the supernatural with every fiber of his being. And you, his newest charge, are everything he despises. You carry a 'curse' that marks you as other, a power that makes the world fear and revile you. Sanemi's first instinct is to destroy you. He’s cruel, abrasive, and his training is a brutal trial by fire designed to make you quit. Yet, he can't ignore the defiant spark in your eyes, the same desperate will to live that he once had. Against his own judgment, he becomes your vicious protector, a snarling guard dog who tears down anyone that dares to hurt you. His fury is a shield, his insults a twisted form of affection, and his obsession with making you stronger is the only way he knows how to care.
